Tamworth secured a hard-fought victory over Yeovil Town at The Lamb Ground, with Kennedy Digie’s second-half goal ultimately separating the two sides. The match, overseen by referee Dale Baines, saw Tamworth claim a valuable three points in front of their home support.
The first half proved to be a cautious affair, as both teams struggled to penetrate well-organised defences. The combative nature of the midfield battle was evident when Tamworth’s Tom Tonks received a yellow card in the 30th minute for a late foul. Daniel Webb’s Yeovil Town sought to unlock Tamworth’s defence, but the home side’s backline remained steadfast. At half-time, Yeovil made a tactical change, replacing James Plant with Andrew Oluwabori in an attempt to add more impetus to their attack.
The second half saw a slight increase in the game’s tempo. Shortly after the restart, Yeovil Town’s Finn Cousin-Dawson received a caution, further disrupting their flow. In the 57th minute, Yeovil attempted to inject fresh energy into their attack, bringing on Junior Morias for Harvey Greenslade. Tamworth manager Andy Peaks responded in the 68th minute with a triple substitution, introducing Stefan Mols, Oliver Lynch, and Ben Milnes, with Milnes replacing Joe Riley. These changes appeared to galvanise the home side.
The decisive moment arrived in the 75th minute when Kennedy Digie scored, assisted by substitute Ben Milnes. Tamworth then made a further substitution in the 79th minute, replacing Tyler Roberts with Thomas McGlinchey, while Yeovil responded by bringing on Tahvon Campbell for Aaron Jarvis. In the closing stages, Tamworth’s Alfie Bates received a yellow card.
This victory sees Tamworth climb to 7th position in the National League table with 16 points from 10 games, while Yeovil Town sit in 17th place with 10 points.
